The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538 How Dare You Make Her Kneel

“Yes, it should have been the chauffeur’s job to send them there,” Gavin agreed, shifting guiltily on the spot. “The children begged me to go along with their charade of convincing Ms. Natalie that our chauffeur is on leave. They were insistent that Ms. Natalie be the one to drive them there.”

“That’s preposterous!” Samuel’s glare grew colder by the minute.

“I’ve turned a blind eye to you spoiling them, Gavin. After all, they’re only five years old. I expected you to know better than them. How could you lend a hand in sending Natalie straight to the jaws of my grandfather?” Samuel tugged his tie in a rare instance of rage toward Gavin

Samuel’s quiet fury seemed to have imparted upon Gavin the seriousness of his action.

“Forgive me, Mr. Bowers. I-”

“I’m going over there right now,” Samuel cut across curtly.

Without another word, he turned and marched back to his car and headed for his family home.

Kenneth’s prejudice toward Natalie has been long in the making. Though the revelation of certain truths might serve to bury the hatchet between them, it would more importantly stand in the way of Natalie’s plot and prevent her from avenging her grandfather and her mother. The best course of action would be to allow the truth to be unveiled when the timing was right. With the number of things remaining uncertain as they are, Natalie’s trip to Kenneth would only lead to her being bullied in my absence. There will only be two losers if both sides refuse to back down.

When Samuel pulled up to the gates of his family home, the guard rubbed his eyes in disbelief when he recognized the registration plate.

Did I miss any memo? What are all of Mr. Bowers’ descendants doing here today?

In a fluster, the guard opened the gates and threw himself aside just in time as Samuel accelerated and screeched to a halt directly outside the house.

The first thing Samuel saw when he strode through the entrance was greeted by a dejected-looking Jefford.

He intended to spare Kenneth some dignity, that was why he decided to flip over the board for Kenneth to save him from the humiliation of losing. He did not expect to have been so clumsy in his attempt that he ended up embarrassing both himself and his master.

Kenneth ignored his butler’s pleas as the latter was surrounded by the four children.
